Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:34:40 GMT

COLUMBIA, Mo. - TIME Magazine touts the University of Missouri in Columbia as one of the "best colleges for future leaders" in an inaugural list. Mizzou is ranked as the 34th-best college "for future leaders" in the list. The university finished 13th among public institutions and was one of two universities recognized from the state of Missouri. Only 100 colleges were recognized with TIME Magazine's new honor. Research teams with TIME and Statista analyzed resumes of 2,000 top leaders in the United States, including politicians, CEOs and other high-profile roles, to assemble the list. 15-year-old charged as adult in fatal carjacking from January TIME says the list was weighted for school size, and many of the top universities "have notable business and law programs" or large research programs. “We are proud to be recognized as a top university for educating and training leaders,” said University of Missouri President Mun Choi via a news release. “This ranking is further proof, a...

This vegetarian main is ready to shine on your holiday table

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:34:40 GMT

By Melissa Clark, The New York TimesAs savory and alluring as a pot of stew can be, it’s rarely charismatic enough to hold its own as the centerpiece of a blowout holiday feast. There’s no amount of chopped parsley on top that can adequately dress up that long-simmered brown underneath; a stew, by nature, is always more cozy and homey than fancy and showstopping.But pour that same stew into a pastry crust and bake until its buttery surface turns golden and glistening, and you’ve got a spectacular main course that’s ready for a star turn.You can do this to pretty much any thick stew and get excellent results. This time, I went meatless, riffing on a chickpea-filled vegetable tagine rich with sweet spices and minced preserved lemon.Since the best stews can be quite involved — all those vegetables to chop and sear, plus a long, slow bubbling on the stove — I’ve kept the pastry simple and used a prepared phyllo rather than homemade dough.Then I streamline things some more. Phyllo ...

Santa Clarita congressman's stock sale under scrutiny

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:34:40 GMT

A congressman from Santa Clarita has been accused of selling tens of thousands of dollars worth of stock before his committee released a report that drove that stock price down, then failing to report the transaction.In 2020, U.S. Rep. Mike Garcia sold up to $50,000 in Boeing stock just weeks before the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure "released the damning results of its investigation into deadly crashes involving the company’s 737 Max airliner," as reported by the Daily Beast. That transaction was not disclosed until Nov. 23, 2020, "more than two months after the 45-day reporting window had closed," according to the Daily Beast.That timing is important, Garcia should have reported the stock sale before the 2020 election. Instead, he waited until after votes were cast in an election he won by only 333 votes.“There’s a chance he’s in Congress today because he hid this,” said Jordan Libowitz, communications director for Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Wa...

Dodgers welcome Shohei Ohtani to Chavez Ravine

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:34:40 GMT

Get ready, Dodger fans. MLB superstar Shohei Ohtani is making his debut in blue Thursday afternoon.The team is holding an introductory press conference at 3 p.m.Ohtani, who agreed to a 10-year, $700 million deal that's the largest in sports history, spent his first six seasons with the Los Angeles Angels, where his unique combination of pitching prowess and offensive power allowed him to secure rookie of the year, MVP, All-Star and Silver Slugger honors.Despite the eye-popping numbers in his contract, Ohtani will only make $2 million per year during this 10-year period, instead deferring the bulk of his earnings until after the contract expires so that he can allow a stronger team to be built around him.That contract structure is reminiscent of the New York Mets' Bobby Bonilla, who still receives more than $1 million each year despite him having retired years ago.Ohtani is reportedly allowed out of the contract if the Dodgers part ways with President of Baseball Operations Andrew Fr...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:34:40 GMT

By Subrat Patnaik and Michael Msika | BloombergThe rally in Apple Inc., the world’s most valuable publicly traded company, is showing no signs of easing. After closing at a record high on Wednesday, the iPhone maker’s market value is approaching that of Europe’s largest stock market: France.The combined market value of companies listed in Paris was about $3.2 trillion as of Wednesday’s close, versus the technology giant’s $3.1 trillion, according to an index compiled by Bloomberg. Apple is bigger than all but the six largest stock markets in the world.It’s not the first time the Cupertino, California-based company eclipsed Paris in value.
